Sony has unveiled two major God of War projects during its latest State of Play event. A newly released side-scrolling spinoff titled God of War Sons of Sparta is now available, while a God of War Trilogy Remake has been officially announced.
The side-scrolling spinoff, God of War Sons of Sparta, was revealed as a passion project developed by indie retro game studio Mega Cat Studios. It launched immediately following the broadcast and pays homage to the classic God of War series by revisiting Kratos’ origins in a fresh, retro-inspired gameplay style.
Meanwhile, the God of War Trilogy Remake is still in early development stages, and no specific release date has been disclosed. Sony’s presentation featured only a few logos from the beloved original trilogy games: God of War (PS2, 2005), God of War II (2007), and God of War III (PS3, 2010), but the announcement has sparked excitement among longtime fans.
Importantly, TC Carson, the original voice actor for Kratos, confirmed his involvement in these new projects, adding authenticity and continuity to the series. His participation suggests that elements from the original games will be preserved or enhanced in the remake and the new spinoff.
